Things aren’t going so well for Trump. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump’s campaign and his associates is still going strong. Opposition to his nomination to his second stolen SCOTUS seat, Brett Kavanaugh, came out in nationwide protests to #StopKavanaugh. And, perhaps worst of all for the president, his propaganda attempts don’t seem to be doing much to convince anyone except his most racist staunch supporters.
It’s obvious to anyone who isn’t actually a racist that Trump is a roaring racist. He’s a white supremacist. He sympathizes with Nazis, hires white nationalists, and has definitely said the n-word. A national ABC News/Washington Post survey shows us that, for black Americans, the feeling of hatred is pretty mutual.
Who the hell is this 3 percent, though??
The national survey also found that half of Americans support Congress seeking impeachment. The number shoots up to 80 percent when you consider the support just of the black people surveyed. Women overall also had a higher pro-impeachment rate of 57 percent, versus a disappointing 40 percent from men.
Considering how women and people of color will face the brunt of Trump’s evil policies, this isn’t a surprise. It seems that being anti-reproductive-freedom and pro-rape has not been popular amongst college-educated white women surveyed. In April 2017, 40 percent of them approved of his performance; today, the approval rate is just at 23 percent.
It’s also worth noting that it looks like Trump’s attacks on Mueller and their media coverage haven’t been working. Most surveyed (63 percent) support Mueller’s investigation, and a significant portion (45 percent) said they believe that corruption has increased under Trump.
So much for draining the swamp.
